• Hydrologic-hydraulic modelling of urban drainage networks and green infrastructure for cloudburst mitigation, environmental protection, and added amenity value
• Data assimilation for water supply and urban drainage network models, including appropriate computational techniques
• Model identification, sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification techniques
• Now- and forecasting of water quantity and quality for real time warning and control
• Risk and sustainability assessment methods applied to urban water systems

This position has natural link to research activities taking place at the Water Technology and Air, Land & Water Resources sections. Furthermore, the position will focus on reinforcing or creating new research links both internally at DTU and with other leading research institutions, as well as on establishing/strengthening research /innovation collaborations with industrial, utility and municipal partners.

The Associate Professor is expected to lecture at the bachelor, master and PhD level, and contribute to further development of B.Eng. and continued education activities on urban drainage and climate change adaptation. Lecturing is to be conducted in collaboration with other faculty members.
